Description

[Cross-reference of related applications]
This application claims priority of Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3, and the contents of these three provisional patent applications are incorporated herein by reference.

  The present invention generally relates to children's playing enclosures, and more particularly, a playing board having a basilette mounting portion that can be moved with respect to the playing frame by a swinging motion that can be motorized, and the fitting and fitting to the baginette and playing board. It relates to a played bottom plate that can be adjusted to fit.

  Playards are used to include and provide a safe environment for children to sleep and play. Typically, the playard is foldable and easy to accommodate or transport. Currently, playards are manufactured with a frame made of a combination of assembled metal and plastic components having a textile body that wraps around the frame to provide an enclosure that holds the child within the playard. The playard can be equipped with a basilette assembly that can be supported by a playable frame, and establishes an enclosed sleeping area at a level higher than the bottom floor of the playard so that the caregiver can Provides easy access to children without having to bend down to access the floor.

  ASTM (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) has adopted standards for the manufacture of structures such as playards, basilettes, cribs in which children are placed. One such standard (F 2088-086.6) produces a bed surface with a support surface greater than 5 degrees from horizontal for a child placed in a cradle swing at the most unfavorable tilt position. It stipulates that it cannot be done. Therefore, even if a swinging motion is desired for a child in a prone position, the surface on which the child rests when the surface is moving must be maintained within 5 degrees from the horizontal to comply with ASTM expectations.

  Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a bagnet structure that allows swinging movement of the bagnet without exceeding the five-degree ASTM standard for prone children. The use of a basilette that can be attached to the playard increases the usefulness of the playard by providing a sleeping area for infants that can be easily accessed by caregivers.

  In the playerd structure, the enclosure floor is usually a foamed plastic or padded bottom plate placed on top of the rigid structural member that provides comfortable support for the child placed in the playerd. When the bagnet is placed in the playard and is suspended by the playerd frame, the space between the bottom of the bagnet and the bottom plate of the playard is not sufficient to place the second child. Thus, it may be desirable for the basilnet structure to be configured to prevent placement of children on the bottom plate of the playerd when the basilnet is installed on the playerd frame structure.

  It would also be desirable for the bottom plate of the playard to be configured to be utilized as the bottom surface of the bassinet structure. In order for the bottom plate to be usable in both structures, the size of the bottom plate needs to be adjusted because the surface area of the bottom surface of the bassinet is smaller than the surface area of the playard.

  Patent Document 4 discloses a swivel mechanism for a baby crib for a child in which the crib is suspended from a horizontal pivot shaft and is swung by a swinging motion. The baby bed shaking device disclosed in Patent Document 5 also provides a rocking motion to the baby bed or the bassinet. U.S. Patent No. 6,057,059 teaches a hammock attached for rocking motion to a playpen or cot having at least two sides extending upward from the bottom surface. The hammock mechanism is supported by a plurality of strings that detachably come out of the frame of the playpen. The string can be placed on the frame to allow a swinging movement of the hammock that can occur in the hammock.

  Patent Document 7 discloses a swinging structure in which a crib or child bed can be mounted on the crib or bed so that a swinging motion can occur on the crib or bed. The swinging structure utilizes a frame that is suspended to provide a swinging movement that keeps the attached baby bed or bed in a generally horizontal orientation. A swingable baby bed structure is disclosed in Patent Document 8, and the four legs of the baby bed structure are on the swing support part that enables the movement of the entire baby bed relative to the floor on which the swing support part is disposed. Is arranged. A similar baby bed shaking device is described in US Pat.

  It would be desirable to provide an apparatus for suspending a bassinet from a frame of a playerd so that the bagnet can be gently rocked with respect to the frame of the playered by an electric swivel mechanism preferably connected to the bagnet. I will.

It would also be desirable to provide a bottom plate structure that can be diverted from use on the bottom surface of the playard to use the smaller bottom surface of a basilette suspended from the playard.

  Referring now to FIGS. 1-4, the playerd 10 is best seen as having a basilette 20 mounted on the upper frame member 11 of the playerd 10 and incorporating the principles of the present invention. The playard 10 incorporates a frame structure covered by the fabric body 15. The frame structure includes an upper frame member 11 that defines a substantially rectangular shape around the top of the playerd 10, and is located below the upper boundary member of the playerd 10, the upper frame member 11, and the floor member 19 of the playerd 10. Incorporating a lower frame member 12 that provides a generally rectangular support, and an upper frame member 11 and a lower frame member 12 establish a vertical frame member 13 that defines the corners of the playard 10. A vertical frame member 13 is attached to the vertical frame member 13 and terminates in each foot member 14 that is used to engage a support surface such as a floor on which the playerd 10 is placed.

  Although the preferred embodiment of the playerd 10 defines an upper boundary member of the playerd 10 by an upper frame member 11 supported by a vertically extending frame member 13 extending upwardly from the lower frame member 12, those skilled in the art will understand. It will be appreciated that the frame structure of the playerd 10 can be substantially different. For example, the upper boundary member of the playerd 10 may be formed from a soft fabric, i.e., a fabric, that is pinched between vertically extending frame members or columns. The frame configuration of the playard 10 may not have vertical frame members or pillars that form the corners of the playard 10. The vertical frame member 13 is oriented obliquely along the side surface of the playerd 10 and defines a vertical corner of the playerd 10 in which a soft cloth extends between the upper frame member 11 and the lower frame member 12. Can do. Those skilled in the art understand that in all playerd configurations, the playerd 10 has a top boundary member, a bottom member, and a side surface extending between the top boundary member and the bottom member supported by the frame structure. Will do.

  The fabric body 15 forms a surrounding wall around the periphery of the playard 10. The fabric body 15 is preferably formed with an upper hole, through which the upper frame member 11 is arranged to support the upper portion of the fabric body 15. Next, the fabric body 15 is pulled with a pin around the vertical frame member 13 and the lower frame member 12 to be fixed to the frame structure. The fabric body 15 preferably includes a substantially vertical mesh portion 16 to facilitate viewing of a child placed on the floor member 19 of the playard 10. The fabric body 15 can also include a fabric panel 17 that is pinned across the bottom of the playerd 10 and can be positioned between the lower frame member 12 and the removable floor member 19. Yes.

As best seen in FIGS. 1 to 4, the bagnet 20 is similar to the playard 10 but has a smaller frame structure than the playard 10. The frame structure of the bagnet 20 includes an upper support tube 21 that defines a generally rectangular shape around the top of the bagnet 20. The fabric body 25 of the bagnet 20 is formed with a reinforced fabric panel 22 that extends from the side of the fabric body 25 and is supported from the upper support tube 21. Preferably, a substantially vertical corner piece 23 depends downwardly from the upper support tube 21 to provide additional support and rigidity to the structure of the bagnet 20 and to define the corners of the bagnet 20. The bottom support, in particular the bottom support surface 24, can reconstruct the bottom plate 60 from the floor member 19 of the playerd 10 and is on the reinforced fabric panel 17, as will be described in more detail below. Establish a bottom support surface 24 to be placed.
The bassinet 20 is capable of pendulum vibration with respect to the upper boundary member while the bassnet 20 is capable of maintaining the bottom support surface 24 of the bassnet in a substantially horizontal direction during the pendulum vibration of the bagnet 20. It is supported so as to be separable from the upper boundary member.

  In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the bagnet 20 is supported from four separable coupler mounts 30 and 40 mounted on the upper frame member 11 of the playerd 10. One of the coupler mounts 30 incorporates a drive mechanism 50 to affect the swinging movement of the bassinet 20 as will be described in more detail below. The electric connector mounting base 30 can be configured to provide a simple rocking motion to the bagnet 20. The swinging motion is transmitted to the frame structure of the bassinet 20 by one of the support members interconnecting the electric connector mounting base 30 and the drive mechanism 50 in the corresponding corner part 23, that is, a rigid drive member 35. The remaining three corner parts 23 of the bagnet 20 are connected to corresponding connector mounts 40 by other support members, ie, flexible support members 45, to provide a rigid drive member 35 and three flexible support members. Four lateral support connections utilizing member 45 are established. As a result, when the drive mechanism 50 causes the frame structure of the bassinet 20 to pendulum vibrate, the bottom support surface 24 moves in parallel from one end to the other and maintains the parallel direction throughout the swinging movement of the bassinet 20. To do.

  As best seen in FIGS. 1-6 and 8, each coupler mount 30 and 40 is formed with U-shaped housings 32 and 42 that define channels 33 and 43. The channels 33 and 43 are sized to fit over the top of the upper frame member 11 of the playerd 10. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the overall size of the motorized coupler mount 30 is substantially larger than the simple coupler mount 40 due to the space requirements to accommodate the drive mechanism 50. . Again, the overall configuration of the U-shaped housings 32 and 42 is essentially the same. The channels 33 and 43 are designed to slide over the top of the upper frame member 11 and have sufficient depth to hold the upper frame member 11 inside the channels 33 and 43. Accordingly, the connector mounting bases 30 and 40 are easily attached to and removed from the frame structure of the playerd 10.

  Each of the flexible support members 45 is attached to one of the corresponding U-shaped housings 42 and projects downwardly therefrom to the corresponding attachment member, in this embodiment the attachment flange 44, as shown in FIGS. To the corresponding corner parts 23 on the bottom. Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the rigid drive member 35 is coupled to a mounting flange 44 on the corresponding corner part 23 and extends from the drive mechanism 50 to attach the attached corner part 23. The pendulum vibration motion is transmitted to the bassinet 20 through. The three flexible support members 45 have equal lengths and lengths corresponding to the rigid drive members 35, and the bottom support surface 24 of the bagnet 20 is oriented horizontally depending on the appropriate position of the child who is prone. . In addition, the weight of the frame structure of the bassinet 20 that pulls down onto the rigid drive member 35 and flexible support member 45 keeps the connector mounts 30 and 40 on the upper frame member 11 of the playerd 10. Help.

  Referring now to the schematic representation of the drive mechanism 50 of FIG. 7, those skilled in the art will recognize that the drive mechanism 50 may be driven by direct current supplied by a battery to rotate the worm gear 52 or by an AC adapter (not shown). It will be appreciated that a drive motor 51 can be incorporated that is electrically powered by the direct current supplied by. A drive gear 53 rotatably supported on the housing 32 engages with the worm gear 52 and rotates around the axis of the drive gear 53 together with the worm gear 52. The connecting bar 54 having an end is fixed to the drive gear 53 by a pin eccentrically from the axis of the drive gear 53. The distal end of the connection bar 54 is attached to a pendulum member 55 that is pivotally mounted on the housing 32. Thereby, when the fixed end of the connection bar 54 rotates about the axis of the rotary drive gear, the distal end of the connection bar 54 swings back and forth in a straight line, and the pivoting motion of the pendulum member 55 Wake up. The rigid drive member 35 is detachably attached to the pendulum member 55 by sliding in a mounting hole 56 formed outside the pendulum member 55, and transmits the swinging motion to the frame structure of the bassinet 20. To do.

  Preferably, the drive mechanism 50 is also connected to an electronic control mechanism 59, as schematically shown in FIG. 7, to control the operating speed of the drive motor 51, and hence the speed of pendulum vibrations of the bassinet 20. The electronic control mechanism 59 of the drive mechanism 50 can also incorporate a plurality of other functions by including, among other things, a memory capable of playing music. Therefore, the electric connector mounting base 30 can be separated from the bassinet 20 by disengaging the rigid drive member 35 from the mounting hole 56 on the pendulum member 55, and the electric connector mounting base 30 can be separated. Music for infants that can be held on the corresponding upper frame member 11 of the playard 10 and placed on the floor member 19 after the basilette 20 is removed from the playard 10, as shown in FIG. Supply the source.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 11 to 12, the bottom plate 60 is formed in a shape that is divided so as to be somewhat flexible when handled, and is fitted into the basinette 20 to form the bottom support surface 24. The bottom plate 60 can be reconfigured to the smaller size so that it can be formed. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the end section 62 (also referred to as the first section) connects the end section 62 to the remaining section 61 (collectively referred to as the second section). The size of the bottom plate 60 can be folded around the woven hinge, and the size of the bottom plate 60 is fitted to the bottom of the playerd 10 forming the floor 19, and the size of the three divisions corresponding to the bottom support surface 24 of the bagnet 20. Affects restructuring. In this preferred embodiment, the end section 62 is fully folded under the remaining section 61 and preferably stowed in a specially formed pocket 66 in the fabric body 25 of the bagnet 20, resulting in The remaining section 61 forms a flat, horizontal bottom support surface 24 on which the infant rests.

  In another embodiment, one or more individual sections 62 can be separated from the other remaining section 61 to reduce the overall size of the bottom plate 60. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 10, the three sections 61a to 61c allow one of the sections 61a to 61c to bend somewhat with respect to the adjacent sections 61a to 61c, but the sections 61a to 61c are separated from each other. It is linked together in a single package that cannot be done. However, the separable section 62 is separably connected to the other sections 61a to 61c by the coupling 63, and the separable section 62 is inserted into the side edge of the groove structure 65 by the tongue 64. From the tongue and groove having a formed tongue 64 that mates with the formed groove structure 65 that can slide along the groove structure 65 until 62 aligns with the remaining sections 61a to 61c. It is preferable that it is the form of the connection means which consists of. The connecting means consisting of this tongue and groove allows the flexibility that the section 62 separable from the remaining sections 61a to 61c bends somewhat. One skilled in the art can connect all sections 61a, 61b, 61c and 62 to adjacent sections by an assembly of tongues and grooves so that each section can be separated from the other sections. .

  As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom plate 60 can be supported by the lower frame member 12 of the playerd 10 and forms a floor member 19 with all sections 61 and 62 connected together to form a complete A floor board 60 is formed. When the bagnet 20 is mounted on the upper frame member 11, the bottom support surface 24 of the bagnet 20 is established by the bottom plate 60 removed from the lower frame member 12 and can be reconfigured to fit over the bagnet 20. To complete this reconstruction, the end section 62 is folded down or separated from the remaining section 61 to fit the entire bottom plate 60 in a manner that fits over the reinforced fabric panel 22 in the bagnet 20. Reduce the size. Preferably, the end section 62 can be received under the reconstructed bottom plate 60, such as in a pocket formed under the bagnet bottom surface 24 that receives and receives the end section 62. With this configuration, the bottom surface 24 of the bassinet 20 is placed on a horizontal plane for properly placing the faced infant. Returning to the bottom plate 60 of the floor member 19 of the playard 10, the reconfiguration of the bottom plate 60 is to remove or extend the end section 62 relative to the remaining section 61 after being removed from the bagnet 20. Will return to full size, so that the full size bottom plate 60 will be relocated within the bottom of the playerd 10 to act as the floor member 19 and thus the basinette 20 will not be usable.
